Question

    We students have two days off in a week. But do you know“996”? （A）It means starting work at 9 a.m and finishing at 9_p.m., six days a week.

The“996”work schedule has recently become a heated topic of discussion online. According to the website, working in a“996”schedule is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in serious illness. This work schedule is common at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei. Most“996”workers do not receive overtime pay.

Many tech industry workers have complained about this schedule. “I worked‘996’for nine months,” one worker said. “I couldn’t sleep because of the stress. So, I leave my job.”

However, the bosses of some tech companies supported“996”. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it’s “a huge blessing” for young workers to work“996”. “If you don’t do‘996’when you’re young, when will you?” Ma said. “If you don’t spend more time and energy than others,（B）你将如何取得你想要的成功呢?” Many have questioned Ma’s thinking. In an article in People’s Daily, one reporter said, “There is a clear difference between valuing hard work and forcing employees to work overtime.”

A lawyer told China Daily that it is illegal(违法的）to use a“996”work schedule. China’s Labor Law clearly states that employees should not be asked to work more than eight hours a day or 44 hours a week.

【解析】

文章主要介绍了“996”的工作方式以及人们对这种工作方式的看法和存在的争议，有人支持认同，有人不认同。

1.It它，人称代词，在句中做主语；means意思是，是动词三单形式；starting work开始工作；at 9 a.m在上午九点；and和；finishing完成；at 9 p.m.在晚上九点；six days a week一周六天；整理之后可以知道，这里表达的是“它的意思是每天上班早九点到晚九点，一周六天”，故答案为：它的意思是早九点开始工作，晚上九点结束，一周工作六天。

2.你you，人称代词；将will；如何how；取得achieve；你you，人称代词；想要want；成功success；综合之后可以看出，这里是含有一个定语从句的复合句，主句是一个疑问句，应该是how will you achieve the success，定语从句是用来修饰名词success的，故答案为how will you achieve the success you want.

3.根据文中However, the bosses of some tech companies supported“996”. 然而，一些科技公司的老板支持“996”。以及文中Many tech industry workers have complained about this schedule. 许多科技行业的工作人员都对这一计划表示不满。可知是科技公司的老板们是支持这个工作计划的，而科技公司的工作人员是不满意的，故答案为the bosses of some tech companies，Many tech industry workers。

4.A person who studies or practises law.意思是“研究或实践法律的人。”，也就是律师，英语是lawyer，故答案为Lawyer。

5.根据文中A lawyer told China Daily that it is illegal(违法的）to use a“996”work schedule. China’s Labor Law clearly states that employees should not be asked to work more than eight hours a day or 44 hours a week. 一位律师告诉《中国日报》，使用“996”工作时间表是违法的。中国劳动法明确规定，员工每天工作时间不得超过8小时，每周不得超过44小时。可知使用这样的工作时间是违法的，故答案为illegal。
